Blackwater USA, an American contractor that provides security to some of the top American officials in Iraq, has been banned from working in the country by the Iraqi government after a shooting that left eight Iraqis dead and involved an American diplomatic convoy.
Blackwater defended its actions, saying it had come under attack from armed militants.

I am inclined to side with Blackwater on this one.

Me too. It was Blackwater personnel whose burned bodies were hung from the Faluhja bridge a few years ago. I can imagine they are a little more cautious these days.
And quicker to defend themselves.
